Resistance 3 Patch 1.05 Detailed, Should be Coming Next Week

November 1, 2011 Written by Sebastian Moss

Having released in September, Resistance 3‘s multiplayer has mostly remained stable, but has still been plagued by a few irritating bugs and glitches. In an effort to squash the bugs, Insomniac Games, are hard at work on a new patch, v. 1.05, which will not only fix a lot of problems and balance the multiplayer, but will also contain two new maps.

Resistance fans were promised the patch back in mid-October, but it hit a few snags and is now being tested by Sony “one last time”, so Insomniac are hoping to release the patch next week.

Patch 1.05 comes with two brand new maps, ‘Creek’ (16P) and ‘The Granery’ (4P), which will be available when you download the patch.
